:01:03. > :01:05.The announcement from the county council comes as it decides how
:01:06. > :02:38.of the roads in top condition, it would cost them ?167 million. The
:02:39. > :02:43.roads are classed in different colours. Of the repair budget goes
:02:44. > :02:48.on fixing red routes. The proposal is to spend a quarter on fixing red
:02:49. > :02:52.routes and the rest on high and the rest on high amber ones. What we can
:02:53. > :02:58.afford at the moment is to patch and mend as best we can. There will not
:02:59. > :03:03.be any danger of those red and roads getting worse? It is our job to make
:03:04. > :03:08.sure they don't get to the stage where they are undrivable. We have
:03:09. > :03:14.to prioritise to make sure they do get prepared and we want to make
:03:15. > :03:19.sure the amber roads do not become red roads. Reductions in government
:03:20. > :03:20.budget plus cold weather means Oxfordshire's pothole problems are

:05:02. > :05:08.for staff here at the Airbus site in Kidlington,
:05:09. > :05:12.but now the deal's been signed off. The Business Minister was
:05:13. > :05:22.here to congratulate them. Very impressed by the work you do

:08:59. > :09:02.The apprenticeship framework states people should reach level one in
:09:03. > :09:06.maths and English and many colleges say that is simply unrealistic.
:09:07. > :09:11.Practically they can do maths and English but sat down at a desk

:09:31. > :09:34.It is demonstrating that doing it this way can work and once we can
:09:35. > :09:38.show success, people will listen and starts to look and say, "if you

:14:57. > :15:00.Silver Hill project will transform the area,
:15:01. > :15:03.but there is fierce opposition. And its decision to drop
:15:04. > :15:05.its requirement for affordable homes to be built there,
:15:06. > :15:08.has further angered some residents. This is a neglected corner of
:15:09. > :15:15.Winchester ` an eyesore in a city Which is why the city council has
:15:16. > :15:27.pinned its hopes on developers who have promised this vibrant
:15:28. > :15:29.regeneration with shops, restaurants But their plans are controversial `
:15:30. > :15:36.they have been criticised for being out of keeping with
:15:37. > :15:38.Winchester's historic centre. And none of the homes built will need to
:15:39. > :15:42.be affordable after the council accepted
:15:43. > :15:44.the developers' argument that providing social housing would make
:15:45. > :15:56.the scheme financially unviable. I think it will be a big loss. The
:15:57. > :16:00.portal thing is to have mixed communities rather than expensive
:16:01. > :16:04.ghettos. They will be extremely expensive, the new units and it will
:16:05. > :16:08.be a precedent for every other site that comes up in the town centre.
:16:09. > :16:11.The council accepted the developers argument that providing affordable
:16:12. > :16:25.It is not viable for the developer to provide affordable housing but we
:16:26. > :16:27.can work together to see how this scheme can provide affordable
:16:28. > :16:30.housing that might not be on a different site.
:16:31. > :16:33.That will depend on the profit made by developers and
:16:34. > :16:37.But with more than 2,000 people on the housing waiting list, many
:16:38. > :16:44.residents are angry that affordable homes won't be built here.
:16:45. > :16:56.It is the young people. I think they need more affordable housing and
:16:57. > :16:59.probably more council. There is a demand for social housing in
:17:00. > :17:04.register. It is historical, they have sold for the council housing
:17:05. > :17:09.and now people who got afford to buy their own housing, are struggling.
:17:10. > :17:13.We don't own. We would like to buy and we will probably never be able
:17:14. > :17:37.to. Affordable housing would be amazing. It is pretty rubbish.
:17:38. > :17:41.Now the sport. Looking forward to the America's Cup. Then Ainsley has
